So I was just wondering, everyone talks about the melon note in this fragrance, but it's never listed in the note breakdown...Now this is just about the high point of the fragrance as everyone mentions, why isn't it advertised?

Top Notes: Crisp fruit notes, sea salt
Middle Notes: Sicilian lemon, bergamot, mandarin, Florentine Iris
Base Notes: Musk, woody and marine notes

It is "Crisp Fruit Notes"

Ah, yea, I guess I didn't think about that for some reason. I guess I didn't think melon was too crisp to me.

Words sometimes need to be tweaked.

It's the iris and mandarin notes combined that give the fragrance it's signature watermelon smell.

I'm also pretty sure it's the combination of different materials that makes us smell the pineapple in Aventus, even though it seems it's officially not there.

Anyways - sampled MI again yesterday, and got that oh so good melon note. Good stuff!

ah, so the batches that don't have that smell have the wrong mix/varying natural material at the time?
